Today is Smiley's 5th Birthday!

Happy 5th Birthday little guy! We love you!

Smiley is a huge fan of Sprout, PBS's all-preschool TV channel; Caillou and Barney are recorded and watched endlessly around here. Another thing he likes about Sprout is their wonderful practice of announcing birthdays on air, and showing off homemade cards parents create and send in. As a surprise, Lisa made a card and sent it in last month. I know it breaches the no-names policy established here, but I can't resist showing it off.

Note: something is goofy with our scanner, and so bits of the card look to be in shadow. The original looks great. [front cover, left inside, right inside, back cover]

We still have to wait and see if his card is shown on air (we've set the DVR to take nearly the whole day of Sprout), but at the stroke of midnight a scanned copy of the card * DID * appear on the Sprout website, as they promised! Card

Again, we love you little man! It's been a pleasure being your Daddy these last five years :)

Happy Birthday, Little Man!

Love the card. I remember being little and watching Romper Room (yes, I AM showing my ancient age!), and waiting to see if the 'teacher' would see me through the magic looking glass. As an adult, I know that they just said a list of first names and it was luck of the draw, but as a kid? Hearing your name was sooo cool. Also, true story, I appeared on Romper Room 2x. My grandparents had a friend who's daughter did the local version in Louisville, KY and they got me on. I was ecstatic. LOL! Only thing that would have been better? Captain Kangaroo! ;)

Yeah, I wanted his birthday wishes transfered to a more permanent location lol

Lisa was on a TV show as a kid, but I can't remember if it was Bozo's show or what . . .
